Irritant / corrosive response data:

Transient conjunctival irritating effects were seen 1, 2 and 8 hours after application in all 6 animals (conjunctival redness grade 2 after 1 hour, grade 1 after 2 and 8 hours, slight chemosis grade 1 and discharge grade 2). All effects were completely reversible at the 24 h scoring. From 24 h onward all scores were zero.

Other effects:

no other effects reported

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In this study, 1,3-BDDMA is not an eye irritant (no need to be classified according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or UN-GHS).

Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study similar toUS FHSA Federal regulation: 16 CFR 1500.42 (similar to OECD guideline 405),

0.1 mL of 1,3-BDDMA (according to supplier's information: purity ca. 90%) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits without removing the test substance. Animals then were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

Transient conjunctival irritating effects were seen 1, 2 and 8 hours after application. All effects were completely reversible at the 24 h scoring. From 24 h onward all scores were zero.

In this study, 1,3-BDDMA is not an eye irritant.
